Description

Part of their Outdoor Daypack Collection, The North Face Vault Daypack is built for rugged use on the trails. But it also comes fully loaded with town-ready features so you can carry it on your morning bike commute to work, or on a trek across campus.

Made with sturdy, high-denier polyester fabric, it comes treated with a Durable Water Repellent finish to help it resist moisture and repel stains. The large main compartment is accessible through the 2-way zipper and will easily fit a large binder and a few books. The front organizer compartment has plenty of pockets for small items like pens, your phone and your wallet. Once you have it loaded up with all your gear, you've got a cushy foam back panel and FlexVent injection-molded shoulder straps for a comfortable, ergonomic carry. And if you're walking home after dark, the reflective detail on the front keeps you visible.

Carry it in town Monday through Friday, and when the weekend rolls around, you've got an adventure-worthy backpack to load up with gear for a day hike or a day at the beach.

Specifications

  • Materials: 600D polyester, 300D mini-ripstop, 1200D polyester
  • FlexVent™ injection-molded shoulder straps with a top layer of Atilon foam for added support and bottom layer of PE foam for added comfort
  • Comfortable, stitched foam back panel
  • Large main compartment fits books and binders
  • Secondary compartment with organization
  • Volume: 1587 cu in, 26 liters
  • Weight: 1 lb 10 oz, 730 g

Sturdy,well made, will last and last.
September 09, 2006

I've bought this backpack for my 5th grader. This will last him through High school...provided he doesn't lose it!

Perfect for daily commute
October 06, 2009

I use this bag everyday for my bike ride to and from work. Couldn't survive without it. Perfect size and shape with functional pockets and nice comfortable straps. Zippers are not indestructible unfortunately...

Great Bag
February 25, 2010

I bought this bag and love it. Its great for college and day pack trips. Comfortable for hiking or hauling books.

Made very well.
September 09, 2008

Fits most of my sons books for school. He likes the style and confort.

A great investment in a backpack!
September 17, 2006

I love the backpack! I bought it for my son for the new school year. It is very sturdy and I love the color.

Perfect for big notebooks!
October 08, 2006

This backpack works great for lugging around the giant binders required of my middle school daughter. As the name implies the large area is a "vault" and we like it because it's just one big compartment, not two small ones like many backpacks.

nifty no-nonsense backpack
December 27, 2010

i can easily see this bag lasting many years of work week use. one huge main compartment is all i need for a small to midsize handbag, 2nd pair of shoes, a rolled up sweater and doodads like mail, magazine, and mace (haha!) that all women seem to carry with them. the front pocket fits a TON of smaller items but i HATE carrying an overstuffed pregnant backpack so i dont fill the front compartment with too much. for travel i find the vault to be a little too small for my carry-on items and laptop. also the zippers are a little awkward - they dont move smoothly under the flap and havent loosened up after several weeks of use - but they are well-made sturdy zippers anyway. the whole construction of this bag is durable yet lightweight. oh and the price from altrec was the best!

Pros: Build quality, Lasts forever, Great value

It is nice. Although, the zipper is hard to use unless you curl back the piece that overhangs the zipper. Otherwise I like it a lot

Great backback.

Bought this one because my 11 year old's North Face pack is now on its 3rd school year without showing much wear at all. Now that is a great value! This pack is well made and has more than enough space for my younger son's first year in school.

I bought 2 North face backpacks for my daughter and son who are 6 and 9yrs old. They love the color and the space they have to keep there school things, especially my 9yr old. Also I love the colors of the fleece jackets and they already started wearing them and feels pretty warm in them. I would definitely recommend these products to others. also love the prices for those brands.

Pros: Great design, Lasts forever, Great value, great colors

Nice backpack for traveling
October 16, 2010

I love my Vault backpack. I carry it everytime I travel. I use it as my personal carry-on item on airplanes and it fits nicely under the seat in front of me. I carry my ipad, camera, magazines, large bottle of water, and an extra pair of shoes. It has one smaller zip pocket and one larger zip pocket. I put my wallet in the smaller one and there is even space for pens, so I can always have one handy for filling out custom forms. It's very roomy and I like that because when returning from my trip, it can carry all of my souvenirs. My last trip I had 8 t-shirts that I was able to fit nicely in the larger zipper compartment. In addition, I used it in the rain and my items inside didn't get wet! Highly recommend!!!

Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value

Great Baq
October 10, 2009

This was a great investment. I'm collecting bags, and at first, i thought the vault was very small, but as i used it, its great for the gym, for hiking and for school.

Love it!

This is a great bagpack! Looks great and is great quality.

Everything was good except for one thing. It was smaller than I expected. I suspected this for this price (cheap for Northface backpack) but really I didn't expect this to be this small. Other than that, this backpack is perfect. Good color, very light, durable, etc.

Pros: Great design, Performance, Great value, Cons: small

Great Backpack. It holds all of my books that i need to take to class and it is very comfortable on my shoulders, and back.

Very stylish!
January 11, 2010

Very stylish backpack. My son loves it!! I wish there was a second zipper part for all the extra stuff he has to bring in the winter (snow pants, boots) but it was definitely not a reason to keep this pack. It all squeezes it somehow.

Not thrilled with this backpack
April 11, 2011

I was looking for a backpack to take to work. I did not like the hard back to it. Also, I wished there were more pockets other than the one in the front.

It is not as good as I imagine. It too hard on the back, I do not feel comfortable.But it's simple and easy to us. I don't want to recommend this to my friend.

Great Quality, wish it was bigger
September 15, 2009

Love the look and and overall composition of the bag. Purchased for my nephew who is in High school and he was impressed with my pick. Just wish it was a little bigger!!

Vault Backpack only 2 compartments
March 25, 2010

I wish the Vault backpack had the same outside side pockets for water that the Borealis backpack has, but at least the Vault doesn't have those stupid side straps and cord closure on the front that the Borealis has. I needed something smaller than the Borealis, but I didn't like the colors that the Isabella came in, also I didn't like the ridiculous names NorthFace gave to the other backpacks like 'Heckler,' 'Scatter,' or 'Jester' otherwise I would have bought one of them, what is up with their marketing department? This is a good backpack, but I don't like how firm the back part of it is and it could use at least one more smaller front zip pocket.

Worth it?
August 07, 2006

You bet. I've used LL Bean for four years. Comparing it to my Vault bag is simple. My North Face bag is more durable and less conforming than the LL Bean. It's more simple and more... me.

A good & sturdy bag for the price. Student liked it alot!
October 09, 2009

My stepson wanted a North Face backpack for school. They are all that for the kids these days. The vault is a decent size and the price here is really good. I think he may have done a little better with a slightly larger model but this is a good sturdy bag, the price was very competitive with other sites, and overall, I am pleased with the purchase.

NIce but too small

The North Face Vault Backpack is sharp!
August 23, 2010

I was pleasantly surprised when my daughter's North Face Vault Backpack-25802 arrived. I thought it would be plain and too small for a high school student. Just the opposite, it expands and is roomy and the color (black) is actually sharp. My daughter has hooked this up with a multi-colored polka large binder and lunch bag. And I am positive this backpack will last the whole school year. The North Face Vault Backpack - 25802

this backpack is so cute and so reliable i just love it when i was in my first 2 yrs of middle school i had an L.L bean and the zipper always got stuck on the fabric that covered the zipper and the bottom kept busting out then i got this and i never had a problem i love it

Pretty well done, though lacking in extras
December 19, 2009

Held up well through tough use and cold weather but it is missing a laptop case and side water bottle holders that would be really useful

don't like the back panel
November 22, 2011

Very basic bag, but the back is stiff around the edges like rough cardboard. Doesn't have the feminine look, and it'd be too big for children. But overall a good size bag for everyone else.

Nice, Cheap, and Sturdy!
July 16, 2010

I had always heard that The North Face bags were waaay overpriced. I was surprised to find out how cheap they really are! When I finally got one, I loved it! I will never go back to Jansport! The quality is great and its a great price! (:

its just alright
September 17, 2006

the straps on this backpack are extremely wide and when i carry it, its tough on my shoulders and underarms. also the smaller container part of the backpack where i generally keeps my keys, wallet, phone, etc.. sits extremely high on the backpack so i cant just sling it around to get something out. its a little more difficult. but its not a bad backpack.

My husband wanted a bagpack for hiking.. This looks like a great bag.. with great capacity. My husband seems very delighted on receiving this! The only reason i marked it as 4 star is because of the back-padding.. This makes this bag a little heavier.. Otherwise its great and spacious and I would totally recommend it.

Great choice for college.
September 12, 2007

This book bag is sleek, simple, and great for those individuals w/ a sensitive back. The front pocket allows necessary elements such as pens, calculator, ipod, etc. to be easily accessible. It is great for college as well as high school academics. I absolutely love mine & find it easier to navigate campus w/o back pain from the textbooks. ^_^
